Infographic: Seattle Mayor’s race at a glance

The August 6th primary is creeping up. That's when Seattle voters will winnow the current field of nine candidates down to the two finalists who will face off for mayor in November. Based on the latest polling, fundraising and endorsement totals, pundits have fingered a few frontrunners. But the pundits are often wrong. To help you decide who should lead the city for the next four years, we've compiled this snapshot of where the nine contenders stand in terms of money, popularity and several key campaign issues (schools, cops and transit). It's worth the long scroll. Click on the names of the candidates to see their websites. But if you'd rather see all nine candidates side by side by side, etc. click here. And don't forget to vote!
